Training
Dear Alois and Jeff
I recently feel like I have deproved. I always forget to move and my consistency is 10-20%. As a result I always end up playing "safely" or more defensively and then I end up lobbing. How did this happen and how can I overcome it?
Cheers
Hi Oliver,
This happens sometimes. The most important thing is to remain focused and keep training through it. Even the best players feel like this sometimes.
As you develop your confidence the shots will get more attacking and you will stay closer to the table.
Although attacking is the most popular style at the top level in Table Tennis, it is important to be able to defend well. If you choose to play a defensive style then you should be practicing these strokes all the time. If you play an attacking stroke then you should still try and find some time for these strokes. If you can win one extra point by defending well when pressured, it could make the difference between winning and losing.
